Flesh Puppet

Effect

With a touch and focused words one corpse that has been dead no more than 48 hours rises up as a zombie that is magically tethered to you and obeys your commands. The zombie's ability scores are the same as the base creature, and its proficiency bonus is the same as your own. It gains proficiency in simple weapons, as well as a number of additional proficiencies equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. The zombie has a number of hit points equal to the base creatures HD * (4 + your spellcasting ability modifier).
This spell disguises the zombies appearance to that of a particularly pale version of its original self. The zombie's outward appearance, movement, and voice all appear the same as if it were still alive, although the zombie cannot speak coherently. A successful Perception check DC equal to your Spellcasting DC + 5 reveals the flesh puppet to be undead.
When this spell ends, the zombie immediately drops to the ground, if able, and the muscles of the creature have diminished to the point the corpse can no longer be used as a flesh puppet. This spell ends when the zombie is destroyed, or you cast flesh puppet again.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can raise an additional flesh puppet for every 2 levels used above 3rd.
Material Component: An Onyx gemstone of at least 15ct.
